This game tonight is the highlight.

Coupled with the controversy over Link's historical ranking, the appeal of this game has been further enhanced.

So tonight, when the players were still warming up, the court was very lively.

Because there are many reporters coming to shoot and interview, this is the most intuitive point to reflect whether a game has attracted attention.

The reporters' questions on the sidelines were similar, basically all related to the "Hall of Fame Pyramid" that was newly released today.

"Of course Link deserves the sixth place. Have you all forgotten how he pressed Antetokounmpo to the ground yesterday? Who can do it except him? With that game yesterday, he is fully qualified to be sixth."

Facing the reporter's question, Wade praised Link. He did not refuse to recognize Link's greatness because of the two's former hostile relationship.

"After tonight, Bill Simmons will realize how big a mistake he made. All I can say is, good luck to Link."

DeAndrew Jordan holds a completely different view, but since he released the Mavericks once, Jordan's influence in the league has been far less than that huge.

In terms of hard power, it is generally believed that the Grizzlies are stronger than the Clippers.

But today the Grizzlies are fighting back to back, and their opponent yesterday is still the difficult Bucks.

Therefore, people are very worried about the state of the grizzly bear.

If the Grizzlies are unable to exert all their strength due to fatigue, the Clippers can easily take the game away.

So before the game started today, Doug Rivers' plan was also very clear.

"As soon as you go on the court, you should speed up the pace and don't let them stop running for a moment! As long as they drag down their physical fitness, they can drag down their efficiency!"

The Clippers are prepared. They must prove that they have the ability to defeat the Grizzlies and must give it a try for this chance that is likely to be the last season.

Both sides started to step into the stadium, and the Clippers' starting five tigers did not change much compared to before.

Paul, Redick, Jordan Jr. and Griffin are the main players that the Clippers cannot beat.

The only difference is that the Clippers finally found a No. 3 candidate they dreamed of!

Once upon a time, neither Caron Butler nor Matt Barnes, they were not Link's opponents. Every time the two sides fought, the Clippers' No. 3 position would be very badly hit.

But this year is different. The Clippers' starting position at the third position is Luke Richard Bamott, the "Prince of Cameroon".

Although Bamott averaged only 6.1 points per game this year, his defensive efficiency ranks seventh in the league!

Moreover, this season, Bamot also developed a three-pointer. After five games, his three-pointer shooting percentage was close to 40%!

You know, in the past few years, his three-point shooting percentage was mostly around 20%.

Simply put, Bamot is now equivalent to a Tony Allen with range.

He is often used to defend the opponent's number one scorer, and the effect is outstanding. Even if he is at the top of the fourth position to defend, there is no flaw.

A 3D small forward, and a small forward with a d greater than 3, is exactly what the Clippers need.

With Bamott here, the Clippers have the trump card to fight against Link.

Rivers doesn't expect Barmot to completely lock Link up, that's unrealistic.

But as long as he can consume as much as possible, Link, who fights back to back, will definitely lose his efficiency in the end!

Link fell and the Clippers had a chance!

After Rivers finished speaking, the Clippers players stood in the designated position seriously.

On the Grizzlies, reporters photographed Link saying something before the start of the game that made Jogel look surprised.

No one knows what Link said to Joggle, but everyone knows that the Grizzlies will definitely be in a tough battle today!

"Link's performance yesterday was impeccable. He made Antetokounmpo look disgraceful. But today, we don't know how much strength Link has left. After all, fighting against the 'Greek Monster' is not an easy task."

Hubby Brown was a little worried. Although it was a matter of time to lose, he still hoped that the Grizzlies would have as many winning streaks as possible.

Moreover, if Link lost at the critical moment of being ranked sixth in history by Simmons, he would definitely be overwhelmed by people's saliva.

"Link may not launch a fierce attack in the first half because he has to leave his strength for the critical moment in the second half. So for the Clippers, the first half is their best chance to have the advantage."

Beside Hubby Brin, Jeff Van Gundy predicted the trend of the first half.

Almost everyone thinks that the Grizzlies will be in a tough battle today due to physical problems, and Rivers is also ready to drag the game into the last moment.

Jordan and Gasol competed for the ball in the middle circle, and the game officially began.

As soon as he came up, Paul took the ball and scored a three-pointer on Conley's head.

In this ball, Paul's sudden jump shot caught Conley off guard.

But even so, Conley reached out as quickly as possible to interfere with it.

But his interference still failed to stop Paul from scoring the goal. As soon as he came up, Paul showed his determination.

"In the last game, Milwaukee lost because she was not experienced enough and had not fought a good battle. But today, the Clippers and Paul would not be troubled by such problems. It seems that Paul is very clear about the current situation of the Grizzlies, and he seems to have to lay an advantage at the beginning."

After Paul scored the goal, he immediately asked everyone to retreat.

Everyone is very active, and the momentum shown by the Clippers today undoubtedly made fans who think Link is not worthy of being the sixth in history.

Because if Link lost today, it would undoubtedly prove that Link's ranking was too inflated.

The sixth place in real history, you won’t lose because of back-to-back reasons!

"Damn, it's really unreasonable." Link looked at Paul who scored the goal and shook his head.

There is no rationality for the ball just now.

Since Paul is so domineering, Link doesn't plan to restrain himself.

Anyway, he didn't plan to do that.

Just after halftime, Barmott stubbornly entangled Link.

I have to say that Bamott's defense did make Link's eyes lit up.

In Bamot, Link seemed to have regained the feeling of confronting Tony Allen in the training ground.

Bamot was very active in proactive confrontation, and it was obvious that he hoped to consume Link in this way.

Even if Link is Superman, it is difficult to maintain physical fitness in two consecutive back-to-back games.

Link does not deny this.

So, his strategy is very simple - to get the Clippers before he gets tired!

Link leaned against Bamot and turned around, then threw away the "Cameroon Prince" and cut into the inside.

Bamot was a little surprised. He didn't expect Link to get rid of his guard so easily!

The smooth pace and the right timing made Link slide away from Bamot as if he was soap all over his body.

Bamot has defended many teams' top scorers, but it is the first one who can easily get rid of himself like Link!

Bamot hurried back to chase, but just as he was about to speed up, he saw Link borrowing Gasol's unball cover to the outside of the three-point line.

This is a back-run!

When Link returned to outside the three-point line, Conley's pass was also delivered.

At this time, Bamot was entangled with Gasol, who was covering him!

Link did not hesitate and took action directly from outside the three-point line!

Although Bamot rushed over as soon as possible and interfered with the shooting.

But this level of interference had little effect on Link.

"brush!"

After continuing Chris Paul just now, Link also responded with a three-pointer!

This timely and easy response ball made Paul feel like he was hit by a fierce punch.

Rivers and Jeff Van Gundy on the commentary stage were both surprised. This was different from what they predicted!

Indeed, there is nothing strange about Link scoring such a goal.

But in their perception, Link should not launch a very good offensive in the first half.

But in the first round just now, Link used active running to seek scoring opportunities.

"Link is very active, his shooting is as accurate as ever. But in this case, is Link not going to play the second half?" Van Gundy swallowed. Could it be that Link made a mistake this time?

But that wasn't over yet. Soon, Link completed the defense by running tirelessly on the defensive end.

This time, the Clippers wanted to tear the Grizzlies' defense through active and fast transmission and non-stop running. Although it was somewhat imitating the Warriors' meaning, one move did work.

In the end, J.j. Redick was leaked by Wade, who was running around.

Redick received the basketball and was about to take action, but found that Link was approaching him quickly.

Redick is not stupid. Although he is accurate in his vote and likes this opportunity very much, he is an experienced old man after all, so he is calm.

So Redick was not greedy for merit. After making a fake shot, he passed the ball to the vacant Bamot!

Rivers clenched his fists and prepared to celebrate the goal, and Bamot also jumped out immediately. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

However, the moment when Bamot jumped out, his eyes were covered by a black shadow.
